“Where should I pitch?”
The eternal question.
Instead of going down Google rabbit holes and wondering why editors make their email addresses so hard to find, join the Pitching Sprint with Amber Petty and have it done for you!
This 5 day event includes 3 days with curated editor pitch call outs, 2 days for questions and tools to make pitching easier, and lots of built-in writing time. Plus, accountability to actually get it done.
Not sure how to pitch magazines, newspapers, and online publications? Get a free mini-course on pitching so you know exactly what to do. So, it’s the training you need to get started and the live motivation to keep going. All you have to do is show up, write, and hit send. Starts February 27th (recording available for all calls). Only $20. Sign up now.
